Gaudí's Barcelona, 1915
Barcelona in 1915 is a city mid-construction: Modernista palaces and trencadís mosaics stand beside factory chimneys, while Gaudí's Sagrada Família rises with scaffolds over the new Eixample grid. The walk passes docks and promenades, the busy Passeig de Gràcia of the bourgeoisie, the crowded workshops of the Raval and Poblenou, and the glass-and-iron theatres where Catalan Modernisme shows its richest detail.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Barcelona as it stood in 1915 (“Modernisme”).
